Swimming Sports
On Friday the Kauri team had Swimming Sports at Jelly Park. The Kakano team also went to Jelly park but they were outside and had time to play in the outdoor pool.

When we arrived the house captains were allowed to sit in a line of seats in front of the pool. I then got changed into my togs and headed back to where I was sitting. After I waited for a we while the width races started, and everyone was seated.

I then walked to help the width races and when I was walking Mr Ladbrook called me because One little girl was scared so I jumped in and gave her a piggy back so she could finish the race. After that we cheered for all the width races in till the were finished.

After the width races it was time for games run by the house captains and house points were up for grabs. The games were SPLASH and MADNESS, MADNESS was first and the house captains running that was Monique and Samara (Rimu's house captains) Jack M and Alicia (Kowhai house captains) and the other house captains helped them throw in the tennis balls, Frisbees and kick boards.

After MADNESS we played SPLASH and Xanthe and I were speaking. The aim of the game lie on your tummies and make the biggest Splash you can.

After that we joined the Kakano team for lunch.

After lunch it was time for the length races and I happened to come 2nd in Freestyle and Backstroke.

Leadership Traits 2016WALT- How to become a leader. My task was to explain the traits of an effective leader.Here are some examples of what we have been doing over the last few days,I was learning about The Real Richie McCaw ( The story )The leadership Traits we used were:

Integrity

He was honest that he was going to come.

He could’ve lied to the teacher.

Trustworthy

He had to be trustworthy to the teacher because he didn’t want the teacher to tell the kids that he was there.

He wanted it to be a surprise.

Resilient

He had to be in a small cubicle like a tiny little changing room, it’s 2 metres high and half a metre wide.

It would’ve been quite tight for a rugby player to fit inside.

Active Thinker

He was an Active thinker by when they made a statue of him he came instead to give the kids a surprise.

He wanted to make kids happy.

Goal Focused

He was trying to teach the kids touch

He wanted people to enjoy what he loved.

Motivational

He was being motivational by motivating the kids to tackle him.

By encouraging the kids to try.

My SOLO level: I think I reached Multistrucual because we had a lot of information in it, and I think I explained it clearly.My Next Step: To try and give more information about the text.
